The Kinds of Christmas Holiday Music Mix for 2021
The Kinds of Christmas Holiday Music Mix for 2021
The Kinds of Christmas Holiday Music mix is here! A nostalgic trip back to a time when the same tired Christmas music from Mariah Carey, Pentatonix and the like wasn’t being crammed into our ears at every turn. (No offense to current artists, but the old stuff is the good stuff.) A time when Christmas music meant syrupy easy-listening tracks and cheesy yet sincere novelty tunes. The Kinds of…

Scar Stuff Presents: Blood Bath - Tales of Eerie Publications (Animated Horror Comic, 2021)
Scar Stuff Presents: Blood Bath – Tales of Eerie Publications (Animated Horror Comic, 2021)
Scar Stuff was/is a Halloween-themed blog that I used to visit often back in the heady days of blogs…Run by animator Jason Willis, it’s been inactive for several years….until now. In the last month he’s unleashed Blood Bath – Tales of Eerie Publications (Animated Horror Comic, 2021). I’ve covered some of his other videos which you should definitely check out. Oh look they’re all right HERE. Lots…

Plastic-Free Living: The Art of the Shave
Plastic-Free Living: The Art of the Shave
As I’ve written about in my last couple of posts, I’m trying to be less wasteful and use less disposable plastic in my everyday life. Luckily, it’s getting easier all the time as companies are finally starting to pay attention to the problem of plastic clogging oceans around the world. Up next in my quest for plastic-free living is my search for plastic-free shaving alternatives.
I shave. A lot.…

A Cool Yuletide: Christmas Mix 2020
Season’s Greetings y’all! As this twisted year (finally) winds down and the holidays approach, it’s time for me to share out my annual Christmas music mix. This year’s collection is a nice, mellow-ish set of holiday jazz I’ve titled A Cool Yuletide: Christmas Mix 2020!
When it comes to Christmas music, I’m an old-school traditionalist. I like the old stuff; the classic stuff. Nothing wrong with…

Plastic-Free: Ziploc 100% Recyclable Paper Bags
Plastic-Free: Ziploc 100% Recyclable Paper Bags
In today’s world, it seems everywhere we go, everything is wrapped in plastic. Take the “bag lunch,” for example. While yes, the bag may be paper (it should be a reusable bag) the contents inside are usually bagged in plastic. Lots of plastic. I’ve discovered a new product, from probably the world’s largest maker of plastic storage bags, made of nothing but paper and ink. I’m talking about the…

The Colgate Charcoal Bamboo Toothbrush
The Colgate Charcoal Bamboo Toothbrush
Reducing the amount of plastic we all use in our everyday lives should be easy, but it’s often not. We live in a plastic world, surrounded by items made of plastic, packaged in plastic. One of the plastic items I’ve been wanting to eliminate for a long time was my toothbrush. A plastic handle, plastic bristles, encased in plastic packaging. Recently I’ve discovered my long-awaited solution: The…

Reducing Plastic Use in My Everyday Life
Reducing Plastic Use in My Everyday Life
Hey everybody! I’ve been away for awhile, trying to find a way through the coronavirus epidemic without losing my sanity. I can’t say that I’ve been 100% successful, but here I am. I’ve been thinking about what to do with this site; I still don’t know what it’s going to be. I’ve always used it as a place to put things that interest me, and for now that’s what I’ll continue to do. And something…

Spotify Playlist: COVID-19 Quarantine Party
Hey everybody. So…what’s new? What a difference a week makes, huh? These are some strange times. Everything has changed. Well, almost. One thing hasn’t: I’m still making playlists. I’m stuck at home, can’t go anywhere, and I can only watch so much TV and put together so many puzzles. So here’s my contribution to the growing number of homemade Coronavirus music mixes: my Spotify playlist: COVID-19…

A One-Way Ticket to Yulesville
A One-Way Ticket to Yulesville
A One-Way Ticket to Yulesville
I have a playlist problem. I can’t stop making them. My spare moments are spent assembling songs into playlists that more often than not never get listened to. Some people do crosswords, or sudoku puzzles, I guess I make playlists. This is one of my latest. Yulesville. It’s where all the cool Christmas songs live. And quite a few dorky ones as well.
It’s probably no…

Dean Martin Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
Dean Martin Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
The weather outside is frightful. It’s only mid-November but we’re already dealing with super-cold temps, gray skies, and loots of snow. You know what makes all of this more tolerable? Dean Martin and retro-style animation!
…the fire is so delightful.

Music for Winter
Halloween is over, the first real snow is falling, the Holiday season is kicking into gear. I love Christmas music, but the first week of November is, in my opinion, way too early for it. Thanksgiving is up next on the holiday docket, but let’s face it, there really isn’t much in the way of Thanksgiving music (though I do try.) What we need for a day like today is some music that fits the…

51 for 51: Ed Z's Birthday Walk for Water Challenge
51 for 51: Ed Z’s Birthday Walk for Water Challenge
How far do you walk to get your water? Maybe a few feet over to the sink or the fridge? It’s probably not full of nasty things that can cause disease, either, I’ll bet. That’s nice, isn’t it? Unfortunately, for millions and millions around the world, access to water isn’t quite so simple. That’s where my good friend Ed Z. comes in. Ed is the Executive Committee Chair of 20 Liters, a…
